Before the Senate switched hands B/C thought they could get away with the big gouge, especially against California, and a tremendous transfer of wealth and power to Texas and their industry. Once Cheney was picked as Veep candidate the work began behind the scenes, to create an artificial energy shortage (coincidence gas, NG and electricity rates all spiked at once?) during the heat of the Bush-Gore campaign, both to take away the prosperity issue from Gore, make Bush-Cheney look like experts who could fix it and gouge hundreds of billions globally with the help of Bush/Cheney/Powell debtors the Arabs. Payback for the Gulf War and lots of extra $$$ for the Arabs too. Cheney, Jim Baker, Enron, Chevron, Khashoggi, Duke, Bush Sr. We know the players. It was intentional and it was stealthy. And it peaked after Bush-Cheney took power. This artificial shortage also boosted Cheney's call for 1900 new power plants and mucho drilling everywhere (all contracts to his buddies including Halliburton/Brown+Root) and without either body of congress to investigate they felt like they had taken over and could do as they pleased. Enter Jeffords. And now Lieberman has the job to investigate the White House and Energy Cartel (which is what it is when united with a candidate like this). If Lieberman finds dirt in the Bush files (and he will) then an investigation can be opened and the energy companies themselves subpoenaed. This is the key to exposing the conspiracy (sorry to use that word but it fits). The gouge achieved the following for B/C. 1) Gave Bush the election as he promised to fix the energy crisis 2) Hurt Grey Davis and opened up California for a GOP raid 3) Gave them tremendous additional soft money from energy etc. 4) Made all their cronies fat very quickly 5) Gave them excuse to ravage environmental protection on every level 6) Transferred wealth and power from us to them 7) Payback for many years of political financial support Duke and Enron both refuse to hand over papers to Grey Davis. In California, millions of dollars in negative ads against Davis are running around the clock paid for by "Americans For Tax reform" which is probably just gouged energy money being processed back through the political system to keep them from being busted by Davis. Total lies all these ads. No accountability. No one even knows who's behind this organization. They are not telling. This my friend is the biggest thing since Watergate. It is the one thing the White House fears more than anything and it could indeed bring down Bush/Cheney, who in my opinion deserve to be punished severely. We'll probably never get our refunds but we can see justice done with the press's help. One more thing. Average tax check to US family $400 - average energy bill rise in many parts of American - $400. So they stole the tax cut too. Which means they're in the process of looting the surplus. Bet on it unless they're stopped. Also look into the affairs of Haley Barbour especially his foreign fundraisings.
